ADVENTURES IN WRITING! Operating from Northern Indiana, this blog will cover aspects of culture with a bent on humor and the relentless belittling of the mainstream media, politics, and the syphilitic GOP (both major parties). News analysis happens. Put on your adult diapers, this gwine'-a'-be a bourgeois hoot. Some much needed hilarity for working class North Americans and international readers. I'm the part of this human world that bites back. Let's roll.

The Brothers Emanuel

MOLOCH, MOLOCH, take this sacrifice, oh desert god! We will feed-you Persian-children to supp-on...oh, hello. Many people would say the brothers Emanuel are vapid, amoral opportunists, but I...well, let's get it from the horse's mouth. Back in November of 2005 (more ancient history, I know), when Congressman Jack Murtha spoke-out against the War in Iraq (remember?), the Hollywood superagent's brother who was once a top-advisor to Bill Clinton--now the muckety-muck Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) Chairman--strode that centrist-line. Yep, he's another one of those Hillary/Lieberman-clones who can't take-a-stand on anything, especially when it comes to murdering-Iraqis. Washpo's Charles Babington reported Rahm Emanuel's reactions to Murtha's epiphanies about Iraq in his usual-manner--he deferred to power:

'Murtha's Democratic colleagues reacted warily to his remarks, while Republicans pounced. Rep. Rahm Emanuel (Ill.), head of the House Democrats' campaign effort, said, "Jack Murtha went out and spoke for Jack Murtha." As for Iraq policy, Emanuel added: "At the right time, we will have a position."'

"At the right time"? Apparently, that means when everyone in Iraq is dead, and the boys at Exxon, Mobil, Chevron (Condi's ex-employer...or are they?), and all the other oil-whores have supped on Iraqi-blood and oil--then, and only then, will his ilk speak-out. Then, we can have NBC or HBO do a miniseries bemoaning the deaths of our victims. The profits will be enormous, wow! I should buy-stock in a media-conglomerate fast...

But, I can't leave it at that, no-no-no. This megalomaniac shuns genuinely-progressive canidates in his 6th District (like Christine Ceglis), as well as voting in the House just like Lieberman does in the Senate. As the Sun Times scribe Lynn Sweet noted in late-march:

Perhaps the NRCC is not aware that Emanuel does not always vote the same way as his other more liberal colleagues in leadership, for example, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).Just March 7, Emanuel and Pelosi divided over a key vote on reauthorizing additional amendments to the controversial USA Patriot Act. Emanuel was one of 66 Democrats to vote with 214 Republicans to pass the measure. Pelosi voted with 124 Democrats and 13 Republicans against passage.Moloch, Moloch, devourer of children. Take this child as your sacrifice to war. Drink the blood of our soldiers, and the Persians...
